We are camping at a campground where you can not tie rope around the trees. This will be our first trip with all 6 of us--usually we camp close to home with just the youngest two kids and have been able to come back and forth to the house to do laundry. This time we can't. At our recent trip to Fort Wilderness at Disney other people were tying rope to trees to hang clothes so we did that as well. Besides one of those folding racks (that doesn't usually accomodate many clothes for three 6ft tall men), what could we do? We don't have a bumper on the 5th wheel to put one of those racks on and I will be needing to hang clothes for 4 adult size people and 2 kids ages 8 and 12. Any suggestions? Thanks!

How long are you going for? Do you have a washer in your camper?

If you are just looking to hang towels to dry I have an over the door towel rack that holds 3 towels, one on each side would hold six. A couple could hang over the shower door...

I have one of those "Grayline Housewares Portable Clothes Hanging Rack" from Home Depot that folds flat for travel. I set it up behind the camper and tie it to the ladder and it does great and holds lots of clothes. I use plastic hangers to hang the clothes to dry. The nice thing is that it can be quickly moved to under tha awning of it starts to rain. Hope this helps

We are going to use the laundromat at the campground, but I don't put everything in the dryer. Thanks for the ideas!

you could also get a Tension bar (like one you would use for shower curtain)
and stick it up some where and use coat hangers for drying)

Go to town to a laundromat and than go out to eat.
We have a tension bar high in the shower and a few things can hang on it to dry
